I would love a feature on this website where we could have a real-time draft (based on who was available at the time of the choice) and save it for posterity. A little humility would come when the jokers compared their picks with Colbert's in 3-5 years.

Mocks are fine, but you never know who is actually going to be available when we pick...

Kevin Colbert: How do you feel about him?

That's exactly the point. I don't have the evaluators and resources at my disposal like Colbert does. My hindsight should be his foresight, and he gets tons of praise for exactly that, and it's not deserved.

He's part of why the Steelers are up there with the Patriots, Ravens and Packers in terms of the best front offices in the NFL. Now please allow me to drop some information on your asses that might shock you:

1. The Ravens ****ed up their 2004 and 2005 drafts.
2. The Patriots ****ed up their 2006 and 2007 drafts.
3. The Packers ****ed up their 2007 draft, and they could have done a lot better than A.J. Hawk with the #5 pick in 2006.
4. Even the best front offices **** up in the draft sometimes.

So the Steelers ****ed up their 2008 and 2009 drafts. Big deal. Their 2010 draft was excellent, and their 2012 draft has a lot of potential. If they draft well this year, then the 2008 and 2009 drafts won't even matter by 2014.
